The Maverick Queen [1956] - Part. 10/10

The Maverick Queen [1956]

Director: Joseph Kane

Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Barry Sullivan, Mary Murphy, Wallace Ford, Scott Brady.

Based on a Zane Grey novel published over a decade after the author's death, The Maverick Queen stars Barbara Stanwyck in the title role. As head of the outlaw gang called The Wild Bunch, Kit Banion (Stanwyck) wreaks havoc on the banks and railroads of the West. Pinkerton detective Jeff (Barry Sullivan) infiltrates the gang, falling in love with Kit along the way. Inevitably, one of the main characters expires in the other's arms, bringing this thrilling western to a poignant conclusion. Of interest to western buffs are the decidedly unsympathetic portrayals of gang members Butch Cassidy (Howard Petrie) and the Sundance Kid (Scott Brady).

Thank you so much for sharing the Maverick Queen! I lived in Silverton, CO, where the movie was filmed.

Thanks!!! I was Joni James's biggest fan South of Pago Pago...being but a WarBaby in Australia. I was sorry to see the demise of Republic Pictures and the old Star and Studio Systems. There was a Golden Age of Hollywood and it sure isn't now!!
